So when Microsoft says it'll constantly screen shot your windows machine and then use AI on those screen shots, we all lose our collective minds, but when Apple unveils their system that's fucking OS wide apparently, where the AI can literally see and interact with EVERYTHING, suddenly it's worth celebrating?
Like don't get me wrong, both are horrible, but what's up with the double standard? It's like apple can do no wrong, despite the fact that they've been doing nothing but wrong for almost a decade now.
In fairness, at least Apple isn't bone-headed enough to take screenshots of your entire system every few seconds then store them unencrypted for any app that wants to access it to trivially do so.
Maybe I missed it, but they don't seem to have constant recording at all?
Even if it runs locally (which I doubt, altho they are asking to be verified by third parties for security, so we'll see, sounds promising so far), it's still a tool that has the authority to do literally anything from a prompt. Once the device is unlocked, it's literally unlocked, as in every piece of information about the owner is now at your finger tips.
Probably makes sense they announced the app locking feature at the same time.
